The City of Kamloops has contracted BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd. to upgrade the sanitary sewer main on 4th Avenue between Lansdowne Street and Battle Street.

We are advising businesses, residents, and commuters that the phased work is scheduled to begin in July, with completion anticipated for in fall 2025. Construction is scheduled to occur Monday through Friday, 7:00 am–5:00 pm, with the possibility of some weekend work required.

The project will serve to increase sewer capacity for future building infrastructure and provide utility servicing for the new Kamloops Centre for the Arts facility.

TRAFFIC IMPACTS

Traffic, parking, alley access, and transit will be temporarily impacted within the construction zone on a block-by-block phased basis, as crews move southbound from Lansdowne Street to Battle Street.

More detailed traffic impacts will be made available and communicated to impacted properties prior to the start of each phase of this project.

TRANSIT IMPACTS

Transit along 4th Avenue within the construction zone will be detoured to 6th Avenue. To plan your route, visit BCTransit.com/Kamloops.

BUSINESS/RESIDENT IMPACTS

Access for businesses and residents will be maintained, but may be temporarily impacted at times during the work. The project team will maintain close communication with all affected properties regarding impacts such as access, parking, and garbage collection.

During construction, dust control measures will be in place, as heavy vibratory equipment will be used. Pack up fragile items to protect them from damage due to vibration.

Expect heavy truck traffic and noise disruptions from construction equipment.

PEDESTRIAN IMPACTS

During construction, temporary sidewalk closures may be in effect. Please obey all signage when navigating the area.
